Stop over while travelling down country.
This is a fantastic spot to base yourself while visiting the Nelson district. Close to supermarkets, gas stations and the water front. Boat Shed is just down the hill!

Princes St stay
We really enjoyed staying in this part of Nelson and at this property. The house was very light and tidy with simple but very tasteful decor. Close to central city but also Tahunanui Beach and all the outer attractions. The road can be busy and noisy at times but isn't too noticeable when windows and doors are shut. House does heat up during the day so keeping blinds down all day is essential but Air-Con is really good to compensate for this. Highly recommend this property.

Cleanest VR by far. Views are stunning.
Having rented dozens of homes through VRBO, this was the cleanest by miles. The views from front and back are stunning. The beds and furniture are comfortable and modern. Appliances are new and not beat up and junky like a lot of rentals. The street can get busy and parking can feel tight when cars are racing up the road but that seemed to be for only a short time each day. The kitchen could use a few more dishes. Would be a good idea to have an extra key for guests who might be doing separate activities or in situations of needed home repair. Those are our only complaints so....overall, great.

Spectacular house, great view!
This house was by far the best appointed house we were in during our three week stay in New Zealand! The beds, linens, comforter/blanket options, pillow options were all there so you could adjust things to your particular needs/wants. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots/pans etc. It would have been nice for there to be a bit more in the way of spices etc. but that's a minor thing.
Nelson is a much busier place than we expected so although this house isn't far from town walking in didn't feel safe as people drive really fast on these windy, hilly roads. So having a car to get around seems essential to me. The driveway into the house is at a sharp angle so getting out onto the road was a bit precarious depending on the traffic. And as the house is really close to the road, when you have the windows open, which we did because it was warm while we were there, you could hear the cars zipping up and down the road.
But all those things were minor, workable issues for us. The drive into the main part of town was an easy 5 minutes and the house was easily accessible to dining out, wineries, as well as hiking and National Parks. So overall, this was a great house and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

Great location & stunning views
A fantastic spot, perfect for the beach and town. The house is immaculate and everything you need is available. The road can be quite busy at times because it's a short cut between town and Tahunanui, but this shouldn't be a deterrent. Thanks again!
